As sunfower seed is very liable to
heat, the safest way of keeping it for
fowls is to cut off the flower head when
the seed is ripe, and pile it loosely till
thrown to the fowls.
Go around and destroy the worm
nests in the fruit trees. 1t doesn't re-

that the worms are extremely injuri-
Gus to trees and fruit.
Eggs placed in tepid water require
four minutes cooking; in boiling water
three minutes. If put in cold water
they are done when the water begins

There Is no better disinfectantf for the
hennery than copperas water. Make it

To prevent chickens treading upon
their food or crowding upon each other
when feeding, the food might be put
in small box with barred sides like a.
plate rack. The bars may be placed
so close together that the hen or large,
chickens can not get their heads
through to rob little chicks of their
food. Boxes with the bars wider apart
can be used for larger fowl.

cup and half sugar, one tablespoon

of the whites, then cup of aour,
then beat good. then little more
flour, then the rest of the whites and
stir easy, put it in and bake. Spread
and roll as quick as you can.-BOs-

If an apple tree has a sound trunlo
and roots, it is pity, says the Amerj-
can CuttiUator, to destroy it under
most circumstances. 1t takes many
years to get a young tree into bearing.
and when it does bear it will not fur
nish nearly so much fruit as one fully
grown. BY grating with the North
ern Spy and literally manuring, an Old
apple tree may be made much more
certainly productive than young trees,
of this variety, which are usually shy
and tardy bearers.
